    How to measure your broadband speed

    • Answer

    • You can check the sync speed of your O2 Home Broadband connection in the advanced settings.

       

      Here's how to do it:

       

      Step 1

       

      Open your internet browser (like Internet Explorer) and type http://o2wirelessbox.lan into the address bar.

       

      If you're asked to sign in, you need to enter the username and password for your O2 wireless box. Unless you've changed them, they are:

       

      Username: Administrator
      Password: Enter the Serial Number from the bottom of your router, keeping in mind this is case sensitive

       

      Step 2

       

      Click on 'Broadband Connection'.

      Step 3

       

      Click 'View more' just below where it says 'DSL Connection'.

       

      Step 4

       

      Under 'DSL Connection', you should see 'Bandwidth Up/Down'. This is your upload and download connection speed measured in kilobits per second (kbps).  Divide this by 1000 to work out how fast your broadband connection is in megs. So 4143kbps is equal to around 4.1 meg.
